That rhetoric is the same as when neo-nazis go around saying "lets not cheapen nazi by calling everyone we disagree with nazi"
Not a good look.
No words should be cheapened. None of them. Not Nazi, not Fascist, not woke, and not anything else.
They all have meanings for a reason. Better we all learn them and use em correctly instead of throwing the word at something irrelevant just because we don't it as if we were children.
